About Me.
Mountaineer, climber and UIAGM Mountain Guide with a predilection for exploration and big walls in far lands.
​
I live my year between Chamonix and the Dolomites, where between giant glaciers and beautiful rock spires I found the right balance in my personal activity and work as a Guide.
​
In the recent years I have focused myself in expeditions and climbs in alpine and big wall style.
​
From the most iconic walls of the Alps, the Yosemite Valley and Patagonia to the wild mountains of the Himalayas and Alaska where I was lucky enough to leave my signature opening some new routes, some on unclimbed peaks.
​
Despite all this wandering, climbing in the Dolomites or in the Mont Blanc massif always gives me strong emotions and that is why I chose these two areas for my adventures behind home, to live with friends and people who choose me as Mountain Guide and climbing partner.
